Aiden 😭😭😂😂😂
"She's here to provide you with tips on how to finish your task quickly," Aiden replied in a playful tone, which only elicited a glare from Niyasa. "Isn't that right, Anna?"

Baby, Marianne is now in ash form… there is no body
Did that mean… Marianne could be brought back to life too? Could Dante do that? If that were a possibility, Anastasia would willingly choose to remain in the palace and wouldn't fight for her freedom anymore. She wouldn't even mind if she were cast aside once his soulmate appeared.

I refreshed at the perfect time! Thanks Ash ✨

Dante, slow down. She just woke up 😂😂
"Because you aren't Maxwell's soulmate. Everything was a deception, and unfortunately, you fell for it," Dante didn't miss a beat in delivering the news to the entitled woman, causing her mouth to hang open.

Girly pop, take a seat first
"My parents told me what happened," Lady Evin said with a look of despair as she gazed at Maxwell's pale face. "How could life be so cruel and take him away from me?! Just when I am awake! As the queen, I order a court meeting!"
Fantasy · ash_knight17
But she drove her son to take his own life, Anastasia thought to herself. Or was it her resemblance to Marianne that burdened King Maxwell with guilt to his death?
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Yeah, Maya, why didn’t you?
"Mary never caused any trouble, and if you didn't want her here, you should have let her go free when she was brought in," Anastasia defended her sister. Frowning, she continued, "You were once in our position. Why didn't you fight for the little girls and young women who were brought here against their will? You did nothing but watch."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Oh no….. (I unfortunately believe her)
"Is that anger in your eyes that I see? The loss of a loved one does change people, doesn't it?" Queen Maya questioned, regaining Anastasia's attention. The woman then proceeded to say, "When I was taken captive, my brother followed in an attempt to get me back. What do you think happened?"
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Very curious to find out how Maya ended up like this vile human. Maybe was WAS like Anna. Maybe she used to be kind. Something definitely happened to her that made her like this. We really are not black or white, just shades of gray.
Queen Maya laughed with a slight hint of mockery at her own past thoughts before she said, "I thought I didn't need the palace life. I wanted to be free."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
I mean, fair….
"Of course, and you are one of them," Queen Maya said after looking at Anastasia and turning around to sit back on the bench. "Do you believe that I have always been like this? I was once a happy woman, before I was brought to this palace against my will. When I tried to leave, I was held imprisoned. The only thing all of you see is a controlling, selfish woman, but it is the palace and its very inhabitants who make you like this."

Emily you’re too kind 😩
"Aziel won't be able to assist you today, Niyasa. Brother Dante was very clear about not involving ourselves in this," Emily stated, gazing at the bloody corridor through which none had dared to walk since the incident occurred, "We will be standing at the side, providing you with moral support so that you don't feel alone."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Oh… so about that
Dante's blood-red gaze lazily returned to her, and he stated, "It is an obvious thing to do. To wrap my hands around the woman's neck and watch her join the rest of her people in eternal slumber."

Aaagggggh fine. More clues are pointing to suicide.
"He told me before he died."

I had a random thought that made me burst out laughing 😂 He’s like that moody teenager who overconsumed angsty media and has now started to call people “earthlings” and adults are like “look at this weirdo” 😭😭
Where to?! Anastasia thought, startled, before following right behind him, the hem of her dress brushing the marble floor. She noticed the servants ahead quickly turn and take off, but the demon in front of her didn't care about it and ignored the other 'earthlings', as he had addressed both them and her.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
No one likes be called an earthling, Dante
"As ugly as the underworld is, there are a few women who hold ranks and praises for their appearance, but I doubt they can surpass you. For an earthling, you look flawless."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Anna probably:
If Anastasia were a dog, one would have seen her ears flop in discouragement at Dante's words. Because his memory being wiped out was something she had been counting upon. Apart from his eyes, his appearance was the same as before, and her brown eyes involuntarily moved to the top of his head, which he took notice of.

Asking the right questions 😂
"If the Vizier's position is now vacant, doesn't it mean that it must be filled?" one of the ministers inquired, avoiding any mention of the position of the king, as it appeared to have already been taken.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
I’m choosing to believe this
Anastasia couldn't shake off the chill she had felt earlier from merely looking at Dante's intimidating demeanour when he was in his demon form, and when he had walked towards them, she had felt her stomach drop in fear. She knew they were living among demons, but this was a different situation! However, relief washed over her when those red eyes didn't fall on her. She asked,

YO????
The Mother Queen sighed and responded calmly, "Don't be. I was the one who pushed him into the animal's mouth."
